Structured References

No longer maintained but still useful.
Below is a structured reference list on demography and debt, curated by
Glenn Campbell (me).
The articles I choose to include may tell you something about my philosophy and my plans for the Demographic Doom manuscript. Most references are from the past five years. I may ignore secondary references that simply restate information from elsewhere. This list is frequently updated, so come back in a few days for more. Text in italics
are my own comments.

For YouTube videos from news outlets, see the "video playlist" like beside each country or subsection. (Most videos are not listed
directly on this page but in YouTube playlists.)
Also
see the Glossary for additional references and the
Twitter Feed for new references as I find them (before they are
integrated into this list).

As of March 2019, new articles are no longer being added to this list, as it has been replaced by a system of hashtags on Twitter
for print references.
Videos are now indexed separately in video playlists.
This page is retained for the useful links already present and to direct you to the new indexing systems on YouTube, Twitter and Instagram.
Beside each topic below, look for video playlist, Twitter and Instagram.
